A reminder that @AHURI_Research research led by @juliemlawson found that a $5.3bn annual investment over 20 years would fund $100bn of social housing (700,000 dwellings) and eliminate the public housing waiting list.
Easily done by abolishing negative gearing and CGT discount.
So instead of huge tax breaks for people who own existing houses, what else could the Gov spend billions on per year?
Well, it used to build huge numbers of public housing, which unsurprisingly, made housing a lot cheaper.
Who'd have thought?
@RDNS_TAI @MattGrudnoff #auspol
Treasury now estimates that we'll be spending almost the same amount on negative gearing as we spend on state schools ($29 billion).
NG on property is a totally reckless, unsustainable and deeply regressive economic policy failure

New report on federal housing spending out today!
we show how spending has shifted from providing low income housing to a massive outlay for investors.
this has skewed distribution from largely progressive to the already wealthy

Governments persist in drinking the private sector housing supply coolaid.
The only time low income households have been affordably housed was when we built enough social housing.
We need a new era of government building to fix the housing crisis

Today's national accounts suggest household income in Australia is about where it's been since 2010. The Covid stimulus blip is gone. This is in spite of increased work hours and lower unemployment.

"Our real supply problem is that Australia is now almost entirely dependent on the private market to deliver new homes. The proportion of homes built by the public sector has fallen from well over 10 per cent in the mid-1980s to about 2 per cent today."

We are on the brink of a global run on Commercial Real Estate as interest rates continue to rise, predicts @AnnPettifor at closing plenary of @PEF_online @PEGFA_ #pef23 conference.
She's been right before.
while I agree on the arguments for more public housing, using building approvals is not the right metric for assessing if we have "enough" housing.
approvals measure flows rather than stocks of dwellings, but dwellings don't disappear very quickly.... xitter.cf/GrogsGamut/status/1664…
Me suggesting building more homes might be a solution to the lack of homes….
The solutions to Australia’s housing crisis are actually quite obvious | Greg Jericho | The Guardian theguardian.com/business/gro…
but there is also a question of distribution. the % of unoccupied homes in the census has been increasing steadily, meaning more holiday homes etc.
so yes we need to build more of the right types of homes (public, medium density etc), but it is no way near as simple as saying "just building more" @GrogsGamut
there is also an ugly economics around keeping existing homes empty prosper.org.au/2017/04/the-e…
